SYSTEM UPGRADES |

The
VS-2480 operating system can be easily updated in order to add new
functions as they become available.
Since the software resides in a Flash RAM memory, the update procedure
does not affect the data existing on the HD.
New OS versions can be installed via SCSI CD-ROM or removable HD (Zip),
or sending to the VS-2480 a series of SMF form a MIDI sequencer.
What is following is the list of the new features introduced to the
actual 2.00 version. |
